生活大爆炸S01E03 MJE美剧笔记 郁闷的Leonard
Sheldon：I'm all sweaty. Anybody want to log on to Second Life and go swimming? I just built a virtual pool.
Leonard：No. I can't look at you or your avatar right now.
Howard：Sounds like your neighbor's home.
Leonard：Excuse me.
Sheldon：Don't forget the mail you took accidentally on purpose as an excuse to talk to her.
Leonard：Oh, right, right, right.
Howard：Stealing snail mail--very old school. I like it.
Leonard：Penny, the mailman, did it again... Sorry.
Penny：Hi, Leonard. This is Doug. Doug, this is my neighbor Leonard.
Doug：What's up, bro?
Leonard：Not much... bro.
Penny：Is everything okay?
Leonard：Yeah, no, I just...I got your mail again. Here.
Penny：Thank you. I've got to talk to that mailman.
Leonard：Oh, no, that's probably not such a good idea.Civil servants have a documented propensity to, you know, snap, so...
Penny：Okay. Well, thank you again.
Leonard：No problem. Bye. Oh, and bye... bro.
Sheldon：Penny for your thoughts.
Raj：What's the matter?
Leonard：I'm fine. Penny's fine. The guy she's kissing is really fine.
Howard：Kissing, what kind of kissing? Cheeks? Lips? Chaste?
French?
Leonard：What is wrong with you?
Howard：I'm a romantic.
Sheldon：Don't tell me that your hopeless infatuation is devolving into pointless jealousy.
Leonard：I'm not jealous. I'm just a little concerned for her. I didn't like the look of the guy.
Howard：Because he looks better than you?
Leonard：He was kind of dreamy.
